See instruction to change from a rack mount (Qt X 805) or wall mount

(Qt X 300/600) and install in a plenum space on ceiling tile rails.

48V Power Supply Kit (Qt X PWR-KT-48V) – includes a 48V power

supply, power cord, bracket and hardware for use with a Qt X 800/805

models.

PoE+ Class 4 Power Injector (POE29U-1AT(PL)D-R [91x.0004]) –

Install Rack Mount Brackets

For Qt X 300/600 controllers start at step 1. If you are converting a Qt X 800

controller to a wall mounted unit with a 48V power supply, you will need to have

both the wall mount kit and the power supply kit. Start with Step 3.

1. If necessary, remove the existing wall bracket from the controller (Figure 1)

and reserve the M4 screws to attach the rack mount brackets.

2. Disconnect the power supply supporting bracket from the wall mount bracket

(Figure 2).

3. Attach the power supply bracket to the longer (R) rack ear with barrel nuts and

insert the power supply with power cord outlet located to the back (Figure 3).

4. Attach the rack ears to the Qt X controller with the M4 screws removed in the

rst step. Mount the longer bracket with the power supply to the right side on

the controller (Figure 4). The brackets and controller are marked with R/L.

Match the bracket to the appropriate side of the controller.

5. Secure the Qt X controller to the rack via the rack ears as shown (Figure 5).

Hardware to attach the unit to the rack is not included. Plug power cord into

the rear of the power supply.

NOTE: It may be easier to make all of the connections to the back panel before

securing the controller to the rack. The controller will not rotate forward to allow

access to the back panel when secured to the rack ears.

TIP: Use cable ties to constrain extra cable lengths for a neat appearance and to

reduce tangles.

Install Wall Mount Bracket

For Qt X 805 controllers start at step 1. If you are converting a Qt X 800 controller

to a wall mounted unit with a 48V power supply, you will need to have both the

wall mount kit and the power supply kit. Start with Step 3.

1. If necessary, remove the existing rack mount brackets from the controller and

reserve the M4 screws to attach the wall mount bracket (Figure 6).

2. Disconnect the power supply supporting bracket from the longer (R) rack

mount bracket (Figure 7). Reserve the barrel nuts for reattachment to the

wall bracket.

3. Attach the power supply bracket to the wall mount bracket with barrel nuts

on the threaded studs loosely as shown. Insert the power supply with power

cord outlet located against the side hole provided for power cord access and

tighten the hardware (Figures 8a & 8b).

4. Place the wall bracket where it is to be mounted and mark the hole locations.

If installing into drywall/sheet rock, drill the mounting holes with a 1/4" drill bit

and insert plastic mounting anchors into the drywall/sheet rock.

Important: If using the wall mount bracket as a template to drill into the wall, do

not connect it to the control unit until after the wall has been drilled. This prevents

dust and debris from getting into the Qt X connectors and ports.

5. Attach the controller to the wall bracket by aligning the lower holes on either

side with the angled slot. Install the lower screws, but do not tighten, allowing

the bracket to move. Loosely install the upper screws without capturing the

upper slots in the bracket (Figure 9). The control module rotates forward for

wall mounting and cable installation.

6. Install the screws into the plastic anchors leaving enough room for the bracket

to be hung on the screw heads (Figure 10). Place the bracket so the screw

heads t into the keyholes and then move the bracket down to capture the

screws. Tighten the screws to secure the bracket to the wall.

NOTE: Keep the controller rotated down to make it easier to tighten the mounting

screws.

7. Connect all wiring/cabling as described in the Qt X Installation & Operation

Guide. Rotate the Qt X up and move down into the operating position to lock

into place. Tighten the side screws to secure it to the bracket (Figure 11).

TIP: Use cable ties to constrain extra cable lengths for a neat appearance and to

reduce tangles.

M4 Screws

Plenum Bracket Installation

A pair of mounting brackets and M4 screws are included with the plenum bracket kit.

They can be positioned as shown below in any of 3 configurations to fit over a

ceiling rail (shown in the smaller inset images). Chose the orientation that best fits

your application (Figures 12-14). Orient brackets as shown – right (R) and left (L).

Remove the controller from any other bracket reserving the M4 screws for

plenum bracket attachment. Secure each bracket with a screw threaded in the

appropriate hole as noted on the smaller bracket drawing for each configuration.

Both brackets must be installed in the same configuration to adequately secure

the panel. Tighten the screws so that the controller doesn't move in the brackets.

A safety cable may be threaded through any of the open holes to prevent

movement and/or further secure the unit in the ceiling.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

1. If the panel is installed in the face down position (below), an additional M4 screw

must be installed in the lower holes on each side to prevent panel movement.

2. All wiring must be plenum rated if it is installed in a plenum space.

3. The installer is responsible for sourcing and installing the proper safety cable to meet

all applicable local building codes and standards.

48V Power Supply Kit

Designed to provide power to Qt X 800/805 models. Install the power

supply bracket on either the wall mount bracket or longer (R) rack mount

bracket as shown earlier in these instructions. Plug the unit cord into

the port in the rear of the controller (circled). Plug the power cord into

the power supply. Do not power the controller until suggested in the

installation instructions.

PoE+ Class 4 Power Injector

Designed to provide power to Qt X 800/800D models. This unit can be

mounted using the tabs on either end of the unit. Mounting hardware

must be supplied by the installer. Connect the injector to the controller

using a rated cable from the OUT port to the PoE+ port on the rear of

the controller (circled). Do not power the controller until suggested in the

installation instructions.
